Hmmm... so that "area" is already on the default install? Meh. I'm not too keen on the repaints (like I said, I'm not tied to a particular railway or anything), and the scenarios... don't seem to justify the price for me at the moment.

Is the Fort Kent a new track? How about the WCML? Any freight hauling on WCML?

Fort Kents a new track hence to higher price and does seem to have loads to do. I don't have it myself yet but it looks pretty good from what I've seen. I have the Ohio Steel one I mentioned earlier that's gone AWOL from Steam and that's from the same people and is very nice.

I prefer the UK stuff personally Partly become its what I see every day I suppose. Funny thing really, 2 years ago I had no real interest in trains until I got Railworks on a whim because it was on sale and recently I'v notice them a lot more and can even recognise a few of the different classes when I see them go by.

I really like WCML, its a very detailed route and does have freight but does also include passenger runs too. The class 86 that comes with it is a real challenge to drive at first and you really need to read the manual to get your head round it or you just end up grinding to a halt for no apparent reason and wondering why it wont go again.

Here's a video of the WCML update that was very recently released.


I couldent find anything very good of Fort Kent.

I've just bought WCML.....do you know of any package that covers WCML but slightly south of Carlisle?

I've also bought:

Lighting Enhancement Pack and the Station Lighting Enhancement Pack (UK Default) from Armstrong Powerhouse.

Do you know if these are any good?....I thought that for a few quid its worth checking out.

I don't know of any other WCML routes, there's definitely not anything on Steam.
If you like the WCML you might want to consider the Class 86 and Class 325 packs too as they kind of go hand in hand with WCML

Thanks for all your help Mark. I just noticed Shogun 2 on sale on Steam... dammit! Gotta approach the Finance Manager on this one, as the DLCs are approaching £20 as well. Anyway, at least I got my "wishlist" set now...
